PREFACE. 


This  book  is  the  result  of  the  labors  of  a  Committee  appointed  by  the 
General  Council  of  the  Evangelical  Lutheran  Church  in  North  America, 
and  is  issued  in  response  to  the  demand  for  a  Hymnal  especially  adapted 
for  use  with  little  children  in  School  and  Family. 

For  school  purposes,  in  addition  to  the  hymns,  a  Service  has  been  pro- 
vided, based,  as  far  as  practicable  for  use  with  little  children,  on  the  old 
Matin  and  Vesper  Service  of  the  Lutheran  Church  ;  and  as  it  is  hoped 
that  parents  will  find  pleasure  and  profit  in  using  the  book  with  their 
little  ones  at  home,  an  ample  variety  of  Morning,  Evening,  and  Table 
Prayers,  and  Morning,  Evening,  and  Nursery  Hymns  has  been  inserted. 

Id  the  preparation  of  this  book  the  Committee  have,  as  far  as  possible, 
adhered  to  the  principle  of  choosing  only  such  hymns  and  tunes  as  com- 
bine substantial  merit  with  child-like  simplicity.  In  a  few  instances 
indeed,  this  principle  may  perhaps  have  been  violated  by  the  admission 
of  hymns  and  tunes  which  may  seem  somewhat  too  difficult  for  little 
children.  But  this  has  been  done  only,  when  under  certain  subjects, 
and  in  the  case  of  certain  metres,  a  hymn  or  tune  could  not  be  found 
that  was  at  once  meritorious  and  simple  to  the  degree  that  might  be 
desired.  Still,  it  is  believed  that  the  book  does  not  contain  a  single 
hymn  or  tune  that   little  children   can   not   learn,  provided   they  have  a 

3 


XBxrfact. 

faithful,  persevering,  and  patient  teacher.  Moreover,  children  should  in 
early  life  be  made  familiar  with  the  best  hymns  and  tunes,  as  only  these 
will  retain  their  place  and  influence,  when  mere  childish  pieces,  like  the 
toys  of  early  years,  have  been  laid  aside. 

Grateful  acknowledgment  is  made  to  Mrs.  Harriet  Reynolds  Spaeth 
and  Miss  Mary  Welden,  of  Philadelphia,  for  various  hymns  translated 
from  the  German;  to  the  Rev.  PI  Greenwald,  D.D.,  Pastor  of  Trinity 
Church,  Lancaster,  Pa.,  for  most  of  the  Opening  and  Closing  Prayers; 
and  to  the  Rev.  F.  M.  Bird,  of  Lehigh  University,  for  valuable  assist- 
ance in  verifying  dates,  and  in  ascertaining,  as  far  as  possible,  the  author- 
ship and  the  correct  text  of  the  hymns.  In  this  part  of  their  work,  the 
Committee  have  encountered  many  difficulties.  Quite  a  number  of 
children's  hymns  are  anonymous  publications  ;  and  the  special  subject 
of  Juvenile  Hymnody  has  not  yet  received  that  careful  attention  which 
makes  it  possible,  in  every  instance,  to  determine  which  of  several  ver- 
sions is  the  original  text. 

The  Committee  have  been  careful  not  to  infringe  upon  any  copyrights. 
If  they  have  however  unconsciously  done  so,  and  are  advised  of  the  fact, 
all  due  acknowledgments  will  be  made  in  future  editions. 
Christmas,  1884. 


SUGGESTIONS. 

1.  The  teaching  of  hymns  and  tunes  should  form  a  part  of  "  The 
Instruction." 

2.  It  is  in  accordance  with  ancient  usage  to  use  two  or  three  Psalms 
at  the  same  service. 

3.  If  possible,  the  Psalm  or  Psalms  should  always  be  sung. 

4.  In  the  Opening  and  Closing  Prayers  to  be  said  by  the  children,  the 
Teacher  should  lead. 

5.  To  assist  the  Teacher,  and  to  save  the  time  for  other  instruction  in 
the  School,  parents  should  provide  themselves  with  the  book,  and  teach 
their  children  the  Service  and  hymns,  and  if  possible,  the  tunes,  at 
home.

these  the  children  of  Thy  Church,  by  Thy  Holy  Spirit,  that  they  may 
grow  in  grace  and  in  the  knowledge  of  Thy  Word  ;  protect  and  defend

\LMIGHTY  Father,  Who  hast  promised  that  they  who  early  seek 
Thy  heavenly  wisdom  shall  early  find  it,  and  find  it  more  precious

the  grace  and  blessing  of  Thy  Holy  Spirit;  that  they  being  trained  up 
in  the  nurture  and  admonition  of  the  Lord,  may  choose  and  love  Thy

Thou  hast  sent  the  glorious  light,  Chasing  far  the  si-lent  night.  A  -  men. 


2  Thoa  hast  sent  the  sun  to  shine 
O'er  this  glorious  world  of  Thine; 
Warmth  to  give  and  pleasant  glow, 
On  each  tender  flower  below. 


3  Now  the  little  birds  arise, 
Chirping  gaily  in  the  skies; 
Thee  their  tiny  voices  praise 
In  the  early  songs  they  raise. 

4  Thou,  by  whom  the  birds  are  fed, 

Give  to  we  niv  daily  bread  ; 


29 


And  Thy  Holy  Spirit  give, 
Without  whom  1  cannot  live. 

5  Make  me,  Lord,  obedient,  mild, 
As  becomes  a  little  child  ; 

All  day  long,  in  every  way. 
Teach  me  what  to  do  and  say. 

6  Make  me,  Lord,  in  work  and  play 
Thine  more  truly  every  day  : 

And  when  Thou  at  last  shalt  come, 
Take  me  to  Thy  heavenly  Home. 

Amen.

While  to  Thee  my  voice  I  raise,      In  a  morning  hymn  of  praise.   A  -  MEN. 


2  It  was  Thine  Almighty  arm 

Kept  me  all  night  long  from  harm  ; 
It  is  only,  Lord,  by  Thee, 
That  another  morn  I  see. 

3  Lo!  the  happy  light  of  day 
Drives  the  shadows  all  away; 

Lo!   it  brings  again  to  sight 
All  things  beautiful  and  bright: 

4  White  clouds  sailing  in  the  air, 
Little  Mowers  so  fiesh  and  fair; 


Greenest  fields  and  rippling  streams, 
Glittering  in  the  morning  beams. 

5  Father,  keep  me  all  day  long 
From  all  hurtful  things  and  wrong; 
Make  me  Thy  obedient  child, 
Make  me  loving,  gentle,  mild. 

6  Hark  !  the  birds  are  singing  gay  : 
Let  me  sing,  as  well  as  they. 
Praise  to  Him  who  reigns  above, 
For  His  mercies  and  His  love.    A.mkn.

With  their  harps  of  gold,  and  their  raiment  white, 
As  they  follow  their  Shepherd  with  loving  eyes 
Through  the  beautiful  valleys  of  Paradise. 

3  Hosanna  we  sing,  for  He  bends  His  ear, 
And  rejoices  the  hymns  of  His  own  to  hear; 
We  know  that   His  heart  will   never  wax  cold 
To  the  lambs  that  He  feeds  in  His  earthly  fold. 

4  Alleluia  we  sing  in  the  Church  we  love, 
Alleluia  resounds  in  the  Church  above; 

To  Thy  little  ones,  Lord,  may  such  grace  be  given, 

That  we  lose  not  our  part  in  the  song  of  heaven.     Amen.

With  the  poor,  and  mean,  and  lowly,

Through  His  own  redeeming  love, 
For  that  Child  so  dear  and  gentle 

Is  our  Lord  in  Heaven  above; 
And  He  leads  His  children  on 
To  the  place  where  He  is  gone.

With  the  oxen  standing  by, 
We  shall  see  Him;  but  in  Heaven,

When  like  stars  1 1  is  children  crowned 
All  in  white  shall  wait  around.

Fleecy  flocks  were  scattered  round, 
When  a  brightness  filled  the  sky, 
And  a  song  was  heard  on  high 

On  the  Christmas  morning.

"  Peace  on  earth,  to  men  good-will  ; 
Hark  !  the  angels  sing  it  still 
On  the  Christmas  morning.

Cradled  in  a  manger  lay, 
Born  on  earth  our  Lord  to  he; 
This  the  wondering  angels  see 

On  the  Christmas  morning. 

6  Joy  our  little  hearts  shall  (ill, 
Peace  and  love,  and  all  good-will  ; 
This  fair  Babe  of  Bethlehem 
Children  loves,  and  blesses  I  hem

To  show  how  pure  and  holy 

J  lis  little  ones  might  be; 
And  if  I  try  to  follow 

II i s  footsteps  here  below, 
He  never  will  forget  me, 

3ecause  He  loves  me  so. 


3  To  sing  His  love  and  mercy 
My  sweetest  songs  I'll  raise  ; 
And  though  I  cannot  sec  Him, 
I  know  He  hears  my  praise  ; 
For  He  has  kindly  promised 

That  even  I  may  go 
To  sing  among  His  angels, 
Because  He  loves  nu

2  His  human  Name  they  did  proclaim 

When  Abram's  son  they  sealed  Him, — 
The  Name  that  still  by  God's  good  will, 
Deliverer  revealed  Him. 
We  love  to  sing,  etc. 

3  And  when  He  hung  upon  the  tree, 

They  wrote  this  Name  above  Him; 
That  all  might  see  the  reason  we 
For  evermore  must  love  Him. 
We  love  to  sing.  etc. 

4  So  now,  upon  His  Father's  throne, 

Almighty  to  release  us 
From  sins  and  pains,  He  gladly  reigns, 
The  Prince  and  Saviour  Jesus. 
We  love  to  sing,  etc. 


5  To  Jesus  every  knee  shall  how. 

And  every  tongue  confess  Him, 
And  we  unite  with  saints  in  light, 
Our  only  Lord  to  bless  Him. 
We  love  to  sing,  etc. 

6  O  Jesus,  by  that  matchless  Xame, 

Thy  grace  shall  fail  us  never; 
To-day  as  yesterday  the  same. 

Thou  art  the  same  for  ever. 
Then  let  us  sing  around  our  King, 

The  faithful,  precious  Jesus. 
For  there's  no  word  ear  ever  heard. 

So  dear,  so  sweet,  as  Jesus.

'2  How  often  I  have  thought  that  I 
A  better  child  would  he, 
More  gentle,  loving,  kind,  and  true, 
And  pleasing  unto  Thee  ! 

3  And  yet  I  have  not  conquered  sin, 
\<>r  striven  as  I  should; 


I  have  not  always  looked  to  Thee 
When  trying  to  be  good. 

4  Yet  turn  not  from  me,  dearest  Lord, 
But  all  my  faults  forgive  ; 
And  grant  that  I  may  love  Thee  more 

Each  day  on  earth  I  live.     Amen.

2  The  meek  Lamb  of  God   from   heaven  came  down, 
To  ransom  with  blood,  and   make  us  His  own: 
And  Him  without  ceasing  we  all  shall  proclaim, 
And  ever  be  blessing  our  Jesus'  great  Name. 

3  To  Him  will   we  give  our  earliest  days, 
And  thankfully  live  to  publish  His  praise: 

Our  lives  shall  confess  Him  who  came  from  above:

Comes  the  Saviour  glorious. 

3  When  the  sun  expels  the  night 
From  the  plain,  and  mountain-height 

Tips  with  rosy  gleaming, 


Then  the  Sun  of  righteousness

Sheds  His  joyous  beaming.

Children,  let  Him  enter  in 

At  your  life's  first  morning. 
That  with  beams  of  light  divine 
He  through  all  your  lives  may  shine 
Till  the  heavenly  dawning.

2  Glory  to  the  Son  we  bring, 

Christ  our  Prophet,  Priest  and  King; 
Children,  raise  your  sweetest  strain 
To  the  Lamb,  for  He  was  slain. 

3  Glory  to  the  Holy  Ghost, 
Who  reclaims  the  sinner  lost:

Children's  minds  may  He  inspire, 
Touch  their  tongues  with  holy  fire. 

4  Glory  in  the  highest  be 
To  the  blessed  Trinity, 
For  the  gospel  from  above, 
For  the  word  that  God  is  love.    Amen.

2  Thus  He  laid  His  glory  by, 
When  for  ns  He  stooped  to  die; 
How  I  wonder,  when  I  see  • 
His  unbounded  love  to  me. 

3  He  the  sick  to  health  restored, 

To  the  poor  He  preached  the  word  ; 
Even  children  had  a  share 
Of  His  love  and  tender  care.

4  Every  bird  can  build  its  nest; 
Foxes  have  their  place  of  rest ; 
He,  by  wiiom  the  world  was  made, 
Had  not  where  to  lay  His  head. 

5  He  who  is  the  Lord  most  high, 
Then  was  poorer  far  than  I, 
That  I  might  hereafter  be 
Rich  to  all  eternity.

2  He  will  take  care  of  you.     All  through  the  night 

Jesus,  the  Shepherd,  His  little  one  keeps; 
Darkness  to  Him  is  the  same  as  the  light, 
He  never  slumbers  and  He  never  sleeps. 

3  He  will  take  care  of  you.     All  through  the  year, 

Crowning  each  day  with  His  kindness  and  love, 
Sending  you  blessings,  and  shielding  from  fear, 
Leading  you  on  to  the  bright  home  above. 

4  He  will   take  care  of  you.     Yes;    to  the  end 

Nothing  can  alter  His  love  for  His  own; 
Children,  be  glad  that   you   have  such   a    Friend; 
He  will  not  leave  you  one  moment  alone.

2  Once  He  was  just  the  age  I  am, 
And  was  as  helpless  too; 
He  used  to  Bleep,  and  walk,  and  speak. 
Just  as  all  children  do. 

»  And  yet,  though  He  was  once  a  child, 
He  is  the  God  of  all ; 
Ami  angel  hosts  before  His  throne 

In  lowly  worship  fall.

4  And  why  was  it  He  chose  to  be 

A  child  so  poor  and  weak? 
It  was  thai  I  might  learn  from  Him 
How  blessed  are  the  meek; 

5  It  was  that  I  might  learn  from  Him 

My  parents  to  obey. 

And,  like  the  Child  <>f  Nazareth, 
( irow  holier  every  day.

2  Where  is  the  Holy  Jesus? 

His  home  is  everywhere, 
He  loves  that  little  children 
Should  speak  to  Him  in  prayer. 

3  Once  He  came  down  from  Heaven, 

And  became  a  little  child, 
He  was  so  good  and  gentle, 
Obedient,  meek,  and  mild. 

4  He  had  no  naughty  tempera, 

He  said  no  angry  word,

And  all  good  little  children 

Should  he  like  Christ  their  Lord ;

And  teachable  and  mild, 
And  has  sent  His  blessed  Spirit 
To  every  Christian  child. 

6  Then  every  night  and  morning, 

"When  I  kneel  down  to  pray, 
I  will  ask  the  Holy  Jesus 
To  help  me  day  by  day.

2  And  I,  a  little  straying  lamb, 
May  come  t<»  Jesus  as  I  am, 

Though  goodness  I  have  none; 
May  now  be  folded  on  His  breast, 
As  birds  within  the  parent  nest, 

And  be  His  little  one? 

.'I  Othi  rs  there  are  who  love  me  too; 
But  who,  with  all  their  love,  could  do 
What  Jesus  Christ  has  done? 


Then  if  He-  teaches  me  to  pray, 
I'll  surely  go  to  Him  and  say, 
"  Lord,  keep  Thy  little  one." 

4  Then  by  this  gracious  Shepherd  fed, 
And  by  His  mercy  gently  led 

Where  living  waters  run  ; 
My  greatest  pleasure  will  be  this: 

That  I'm  a  little  land)  of  His, 
Who  loves  the  little  one.

Can  never,  never  sing; 
They  know  not  Christ  as  Saviour, 

But  worship  Him  as  King.

And  a  harp  of  sweetest  music, 

And  a  palm  of  victory.

To  Thee  for  precious  gifts  of  grace 
Thy  ransomed  people  pray.

For  hope  t  hat  never  faints, 

For  t  rue  communion  evermore 
With  all  Thy  blessed  saints. 


5  On  friends  around  us  here 
O  let  Thy  blessing  fall  ; 
We  pray  for  grace  to  love  them  well, 
But  Thee  beyond  them  all. 

(J  0  joy  to  live  for  Thee  !

2  Thou  blessed  soul,  what  canst  thou  fear? 

What  tiling  to  thee  can  mischief  do? 
Thy  God  is  now  thy  Father  dear, 

His  holy  Spouse,  thy  mother  too. 
Sweet  baby,  then  forbear  to  weep; 
Be  still,  my  dear;  sweet  baby,  sleep. 

3  Though  thy  conception  was  in  sin, 

A  -acred  bathing  thou  hast  had; 
And  tho'  thy  birth  unclean  hath  been, 

A  blameless  babe  thou  now  art  made. 
Sweet  baby,  then  forbear  to  weep; 
Be  still,  my  dear;  sweet  baby,  sleep. 

4  While  thus  thy  lullaby  I  sing, 

For  thee  great  blessings  ripening  be; 
Thine  Elder  Brother  is  a  King, 

And  hath  a  kingdom  bought  for  thee. 
Sweet  baby,  then  forbear  to  weep; 
Be  still,  my  dear;  sweet  baby,  sleep. 

5  Sweet  baby,  sleep,  and  nothing  fear; 

For  whosoever  thee  offends 
By  thy  Protector  threatened  are, 

And  (iod  and  angels  are  thy  friends. 
Sweet  baby,  then  forbear  to  weep; 
Be  still,  my  dear;  sweet  baby,  sleep. 

6  When  (iod  with  us  was  dwelling  here, 

In  little  babes  He  took  delight; 
Such  innocents  as  thou,  my  dear, 

Aic  ever  precious  in  His  sight. 
Sweet  baby,  then  forbear  to  weep ; 
Be  still,  my  dear;  sweet  baby,  sleep. 

7  A  little  infant  once  was  He; 

And  strength  in  weakness  then  was 
laid 
Upon  His  virgin-mother's  knee, 

That  power  to  thee  might  be  convey'd. 
Sweet  baby,  then  forbear  to  weep; 
Be  still,  my  dear;  sweet  baby,  sleep. 


-    In  this  thy  frailty  and  thy  need 

He  friends  and  helpers  doth  prepare, 
Which   thee  shall   cherish,  clothe,  and 
feed, 
For  of  thy  weal  they  tender  are. 
Sweet  baby,  then  forbear  to  weep; 
Be  still,  my  dear;  sweet  baby,  sleep. 

9  The  King  of  kings,  when  He  was  born, 
Had  not  so  much  for  outward  ease; 
By  Him  such  dressings  were  not  worn, 
Nor  such-like   swaddling-clothes  as 
these. 
Sweet  baby,  then  forbear  to  weep ; 
Be  still,  my  dear;  sweet  baby,  sleep. 

10  Within  a  manger  lodged  thy  Lord, 

Where  oxen  lay,  and  asses  fed: 
Warm  room  we  do  to  thee  afford, 

An  easy  cradle,  or  a  bed. 
Sweet  baby,  then  forbear  to  weep ; 
Be  still,  my  dear;  sweet  baby,  sleep. 

11  The  wants  that  He  did  then  sustain 

Have   purchased    wealth,  my   babe, 
for  thee ; 
And  by  His  torments  and  His  pain 

Thy  rest  and  ease  secured  be. 
Sweet  baby,  then  forbear  to  weep; 
Be  still,  my  dear;  sweet  baby,  sleep. 

12  Thou  hast,  yet  more  to  perfect  this, 

A  promise  and  an  earnest  got, 
Of  gaining  everlasting  bliss, 

Though  thou,  my  babe,  perceiv'st  it 
not. 
Sweet  baby,  then  forbear  to  weep. 
Be  still,  my  babe;  sweet  baby,  sleep.
